A Pyrrhic Victory in Iraq
Even one Soldier lost would have been a price too high to pay. I think the bitter experience taught nothing to the Congress. It has exhausted the Iraqis who have lost nearly 20% of the population dead, homeless or in exile.A Pyrrhic victory at best, it may cost Americans their liberty.
In Lidice Poland grown-ups locked the townsfolk in the Church and then burned it down. ] In 1943 Polish partisans ambushed and killed a Nazi SS officer. The town nearest the ambush was Lidice.Just as our Soldiers have sacrificed to allow us to celebrate El Din, Chanukah and Christmas, so did the innocent citizens die in the fight to defeat fascism.Our traditions mean nothing if we forget the human beings who defended them.
